SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly NIANIA games. Former top team TEAM HAVOK was unseated
this week as THE GOLDEN FISH moved up from 5th ranking to take the top spot with a
4-1-0 record for the round. There were bitter words at TEAM HAVOK's guildhouse after
a 0-3-0 showing this week which dropped the stable into 6th. Dark Arena anyone?
Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner! Witness how this week
THE GOLDEN FISH went 4-1-0 to move up 4 in the rankings. SAROVOND caught the eye of
many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested AMBITIOUS GUARD and was
awarded 16 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, VETERAN
MERCENARY put down PITER DEVRIES, causing him to lose 13 points of recognition in the
process. Not for nothing has PAUL ATREIDES in the past laid claim to the
Duelmaster's throne, and this week he's proven his combat skill yet again.
Informants "close" to the city champion have told me that he never fights without
pantyhose on beneath his armor. Watch out!
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. Mighty fighters cannot but expect
competition from those below. ALLAN OHATA take warning! You have more than a few
enemies in NIANIA.
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! This week marked the last days of SPIRITUAL PAIN
who at 6-7-2 was dispatched to the Dark Arena by the command of TEAM HAVOK's
demanding management. Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins. In the arena
there is only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always!
If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times
already in NIANIA. Nice atmosphere you have here! More than a sharp eye must I
keep, indeed a stout pair of legs must I keep as well! The endless paths of Alastari
await me! Till next we meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a
maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
Key Lime -- Tasty, very tasty, especially for a golem. Why can't more golems be like
this? -- Koronedus
P.S. Too bad you aren't in Caleam, they'd really appreciate you there.
Iron Gypsy -- Not a bad concept at its root, but I think you might be carrying it too
far? Or not far enough. After all, the essence of "gypsy" is traveling, and you
need to travel more. -- Dolovor
Hand of Hell -- I warn you, I'm no "good dog," and I will certainly bite the hand
that damns me. -- Harolue
P.S. Twice.
P.P.S. Maybe three times.
Yukio Okutsu -- Can't you tell we're trying to get rid of you? Rise faster! Go, go,
go! -- Sarovond
Cotton Candy -- Sorry, ma'am. You're pretty enough, I guess, but there's just not
enough substance, and it makes my teeth hurt just looking at you. -- Gallordin
Vendetta -- I never wished THAT on you. -- Koronedus
Biff Mugg, late of Mordant -- If you think being on a team with a lazy manager is
"got it made," you can think again. In fact, I'd be glad to change places with you.
-- Gallordin
Ssothiss, Asssasssin of Note -- Yes, astute is my middle name. -- Koronedus
That Eclair was delicious! -- a miscellaneous and anonymous Wurm Kin
P.S. And the Mountain Troll (a crude sort, but sincere) assures me that Strawberry
was, also.
